K. Hadjiafxendi & P. Mackay 
Authorship in Context [PDF ebook] 
From the Theoretical to the Material

Support

Theories of authorship and material culture provide the framework for this study. It maps Anglo-American authorship as it shifts from a theoretical to a more material approach to its study in contexts recognized as key to its development: the nineteenth-century literary market-place, twentieth-century experimentalism and postmodern culture.
